A synchronization queuing service associated with a content management system repository can record file events occurring to content items maintained at the content management system repository. The synchronization queuing service can receive a file synchronization request for information identifying a content item to which a client machine is subscribed. The synchronization queuing service can determine consistency or inconsistency of a client machine state of the content item relative to the content item at the content management system repository and can respond to client machine with a file event summary comprising information usable by the client machine to identify actions necessary to synchronize the client machine state of the content item the content item.

Synchronization of client machines with a content management system repository

A method for content transformation using a transformation node cluster. The transformation node cluster may comprise a plurality of nodes including a plurality of transformation nodes configured to execute one or more content transformation types. A request may be received from a client machine for a content item stored in a repository associated with a server machine that is associated with the transformation node cluster. A current content format of the content item and a target content format of the content item may be identified. The target content format may differ from the current content format. A chain of transformations may be determined as including a first transformation type for transforming the content item from the current content format to an intermediate content format.

Content transformations using a transformation node cluster

Content transformations can include transformation of content items in a CMS repository from a source format to a target format. Such transformations can be performed using a transformation node cluster having multiple nodes, each of which is configured for a specific content transformation type. Router nodes can receive requests for content items and route content items to transformation nodes having a proper content transformation type to either transform a requested content item to the target format or perform an intermediate transformation as part of a transformation chain. A transformation node cluster can be dynamically configurable based on estimates of expected loads for the various types of transformations. Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.
